Have Obama and Romney been given advance notice of presidential debate “questions” so there can be no possibility of an unrehearsed or spontaneous moment? Check!
Have the questions been freshly scrubbed so as to remove any possibility of an overtly hostile question? Double check!
Will pundits and journalists make faux ponderous statements about the horse race and ignore discussion of substantive issues? You betcha!
Will the news channels pretend to discuss the debate by having meaningless interviews with a Democrat and a Republican who will cheerlead their side and attack the other? Now we’re talking journalism!
After all, in a time of deep crisis in this country, when the two sides are barely speaking, the economy is limping along, and laws aren’t enforced against those in high places, it really is of upmost importance if Obama’s slip of the tongue hurt his chances with left-handed soccer moms living in the Rust Belt.

Michel Montecrossa says about ‘TALKING BIG WARNING’:
“ I made the ‘Talking Big Warning’ song and movie at the time when Obama and Romney had their fantasy presidential debate about no economy solutions in a payola media centre to talk the people into something through non-communicative-discourse. At the same time outside this house the planetary reality world was ‘Talking Big Warning’ in the language of storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rain, drought, sweeping slavery, energy wars, suffering, poverty, unemployment, pain, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes erupting and nuclear wars saying: The mode of consciousness must change. There’s no future for economy without World Unity and there’s no peace and climate change without the United States of Planet Earth. And I say that it is in our hands, it’s our moment to listen to the Big Warning.â€
